Meier out for the season

The team announced earlier today that rookie wide receiver Kerry Meier has been placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury he suffered in Thursday night’s preseason game against the New England Patriots.

Meier was a fifth round pick by the Falcons earlier this Fall. With the injury to starter Michael Jenkins, the Falcons were hopeful that Meier would help alleviate their need for depth. He had been having a very good training camp according to most reports.
